A blind grandfather asked his granddaughter to read him an old book he adored in his youth, but as she flipped through the pages, she found something strange between them.
Grandfather lay on an old, creaky bed by the window. His face was pale, his wrinkled hands trembled, and his eyes hadn’t seen the light of day in a long time. In recent days, he had barely gotten up, only occasionally asking for a glass of water or listening to his granddaughter read aloud to him.
One evening, he called her with difficulty:
“Darling, get me that very book… it’s on the top shelf of the closet. I read it hundreds of times in my youth. I want to hear her voice one more time, while I live.”
The ten-year-old granddaughter carefully removed a thick volume with a faded cover, brushed off the dust, and sat down next to him. Her grandfather closed his eyes and smiled:
“Start reading, my dear.”
The girl opened the book and carefully ran her finger along the lines, but suddenly, between the pages, she saw something strange.

The yellowed envelope, sealed with sealing wax, seemed alien and terrifying to her. She picked it up and exclaimed:
The old man’s eyes suddenly opened, and a tear rolled down his cheek. His voice trembled:
“Could it be… she really left him…”
“Who?” — the girl asked.
“Your grandmother,” he whispered. “Just before she died, she disappeared from the room and said I would find her words someday. I’ve waited for this my whole life…”
The granddaughter carefully opened the envelope. Inside was a sheet of paper covered in neat, feminine handwriting. She began to read aloud:
A blind grandfather asked his granddaughter to read him an old book he’d adored in his youth, but as she leafed through the pages, she found something strange between them.
“My dear… When you find this letter, I will no longer be with you. I want you to know: I always loved you, even when I was silent, even when you were angry, even in your last moments. Don’t be sad for me. I will wait for you in heaven, and there we will meet again. You were my joy and my life…”
The granddaughter’s voice trembled, and the grandfather could no longer hold back his tears. He whispered softly:
“She’s been calling me all this time… waiting… and now I’m at peace.”
The girl pressed herself against him, and he, holding her hand, felt relief for the first time in years. Now he knew: soon they would be together again.
